1800 H10C MS62 NGC. V-1, LM-1, R.3. The V-1 1800 half dime
is the most frequently encountered of the varieties known for this
date. All four digits in the date are equally spaced on this
variety, and the first star is low in the field. On this example,
the design elements are nicely defined, including most of the
detail on the eagle's breast. The strike is well centered on the
planchet, and the dentils are relatively strong on each side.
Silvery surfaces display an essentially untoned appearance, save
for the barest hint of golden color beginning to form at selected
border areas. The fields impart a semi-reflective appearance at
certain angles. Overall, an exceptional early Uncirculated half
dime.(Registry
